How We Help Early Educators & Parents

If you can, start early before an emergency in your relationship with your child. If that emergency has already flared up, start now to change the dynamic -- for your child's sake AND yours!

Before out-of-control tantrums, defiance, or lying, and long before stealing, drugs and alcohol, teen pregnancy, or criminal activity, there are opportunities to avoid them all.

This 7 Childhood Treasures workshop is for all parents. Are you a brand new parent who wants to support her child's mining of a sparkling treasure chest right from the start? Are you a parent living in daily struggle with a child of any age? Either way, this session can change your life. Webinars coming soon.

Living in struggle with an adult child (18+)? Develop the joy in that relationship with our sessions for Individuals.

Building the Foundation

(for teachers of infants and toddlers)

Teachers cannot develop in a child a capacity they do not, themselves, already own. To help every child be the best he can be, teachers need to understand early development, yes. AND they need a deeper understanding of their own early experiences. That powerful tool will change a teacher for the better, forever.

This 7 Childhood Treasures workshop is designed to help teachers develop BOTH their knowledge about children and their awareness of themselves, as a key component of the children's curriculum. The session teaches how to support children's and teachers' development of the Treasures of Trust and Independence, between birth and about 30 months of age.

After this workhsop, you will be a better teacher, a better team member with fellow teachers and administrators, and a better person, in general.

(This session is approved by the Missouri Section for Child Care Regulation for two clock hours, under the title "Supporting Infants and Toddlers as They Develop Trust and Empathy.")
